Due to my upcoming absence from the SDMB, which would span my “end of subscription date”, I decided to pre-emtively resubscribe.
My original subscribe date: 4-19-2004
My original expiration date: 4-19-2006
I thought that if I resubscribed now, my new expiration date would end up being today in 2006: 9-18-2006
Apparently, that ain’t the case. My new expiration date is: 4-28-2007.
Apparently, when you “buy a year”, it doesn’t default to the current date, but tacks it onto the date of your original registration. Efficiency at it’s finest.
Tripler: May god hold you in the hollow of his hand and bring you home safely.
Mr. Blue Sky: Yes. We had a board outage that added something like 2 weeks to the initial Charter Member offer, which is why the subscription expiration date for most people in 2005 was 04-28-2005.
We do strive to give value, and a major outage like we had should be compensated for.

I thank you. I’ll leave God for the afterthought, 'cause I’ll have a rifle and don’t exactly intend on meeting him soon. But I do thank you.
Although I did wonder what was going on with the ‘end-of-the-month’ thing. I thought it weird that while I subscribed in the middle of the month, it was extended a bit.
C’est la vie.
